Cosmo Editor in Chief Lays Off Nine Employees

Since leaving Marie Claire to become Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief back in September, Joanna Coles has made few changes to the magazine.

But we knew that wouldn't last long.

On Wednesday Coles laid off a total of nine staffers — six in the features department and two in photo. Before these lay offs, the features department had a total of ten editors, but now there is one senior editor, one associate editor, and two editorial assistants.
